Alessandro Del Piero will battle teammate Amauri for the title of 2008’s top scorer in Serie A.
The Juventus captain is leading the standings with 19 goals in 37 rounds during the current calendar year, consisting of 14 last season and five in this campaign.
He has already seen off the challenge from Inter’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who failed to net last night against Siena and therefore ends 2008 with 18 goals.
The only player who is likely to challenge Del Piero is his own Juve teammate, Amauri, who also has 18 goals thanks to eight last term with Palermo and 10 this season.
It would be quite an achievement for Del Piero to top this particular chart, as a Juventus player has not done so since Michel Platini when he bagged 17 in 1985, on a par with Napoli’s Diego Armando Maradona.
Alex and Amauri will be fighting it out to score at the Stadio Azzurri d’Italia in Bergamo this afternoon, where Juventus take on Atalanta.
